Well, yes, the old poison bottles had an apothecary-style design.

I really get you, but I didn't really have much room into choosing the tap. This is the smallest, decently looking food-grade spigot I found readily available. And, if the bottle was larger, it would become an even bigger tripping hazard than it already is. I still have to find a way to prevent it from easily fall down from something like a shower niche.
I suppose some wear off will occur in time, but the pattern should not rub off despite repeated washing at least for a few years. Then again, you're right that the laser etched bottle will remain the same forever. I went with an amber glass because the formula inside may be unstable and react if UV hits it.
I have both. They're a sort of prototype for something I am currently developing. I just couldn't decide which looks better and, as always, the people here are very helpful, for which I am very grateful.
The bottles are meant to stay in a bathroom (the photo is taken in a shower niche).
The photo is quite accurate to how the bottle looks in real life. You do need very good lighting for the pattern to pop.
It's meant to be a reusable bottle for pretty much anything. There are no plastics involved. I will be using it for a shower gel initially.
I'll obviously never use leather for any future products. I did have graphite in mind, but it's still on the drawing board (another project). Right now I think I will have to give up and rely on the food-grade spigots that are available on the market. I would honestly make them myself from scratch but the investment required is astronomical for me right now. Maybe in the future.
I have been trying to get my hands on some pump dispensers from like 100 years ago. I am curious how they used to be made then. Obviously no plastic, but perhaps rubber was most likely used.
I actually wasn't aware of the natural rubber vulnerability to e-coli... And the spigot will be placed in a highly humid environment. So I guess back to the drawing board.
Thank you for your very comprehensive response. I am currently trying to replace the outer silicone gaskets with cork, with mixed results, which is why I hoped that natural rubber may do the trick. I also did see that the inner O-rings were made of EPDM, so I hoped that those could be replaced with something better for the environment.
I recently finished testing the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and you can see for yourself the results that I got.
But this is not entirely the point of this post. The problem is that the search engines have become weird, so I need to ask you, the user, if this type of content is useful.
So please let me know if the type of tests that I ran are useful and clear enough. If I can add something or need to remove specific info.
I also intend to move towards video format and to be honest, translating all this written info into a comprehensive video is incredibly overwhelming.
Which is why I need your advice about what needs to be improved. Thank you!

No worries. I am actually looking forward to any feedback. And I also thought that it may be better to find some way to hang it, although it does need to be both be functional and look good.
